1229049 玖、發明說明： [發明所屬之技術領域] 本發明爲有關一種用紙排出裝置及使用該裝置的印出裝 置，其係例如可將從列印圖像的多數之列印機所列印的用 紙予以排出之裝置者。 [先前技術] 近幾年，由於數位攝影機的普及，已有人提供一種將數 位攝影機所攝影的圖像列印之列印服務。提供這種列印服 務的形態中，已知的其一是裝載著多數的，各有容納用紙 的列印機之列印裝置（參照特開200 1 - 1 6287 1號公報）。此乃 將儲存著數位攝影機所攝影的圖像資料之精明媒體（smat media)(註冊商標）等之記憶媒體插入於裝置的部分中，而由 裝置內的多數列印機列印圖像者。如此地，在列印裝置中 裝載多數的列印機，而以並行的進行圖像之列印處理，因 此，可高速且以高效率的進行列印處理者。 所準備的列印圖像之用紙規格是例如有卡片尺寸、L尺 寸、2L尺寸、CD尺寸等各種各樣的用紙規格，各列印機 是對多數的用紙規格進行列印者。而，爲了使排出機構得 以排出任何規格的用紙，所設置的排出機構之大小是使其 對應於最大的列印用紙的規格者。 此排出機構是由要將從多數的列印機所輸出的用紙引導 到取出口之滑運匣所構成。而例如要列印卡片尺寸、L尺 寸、2L尺寸、CD尺寸的列印裝置之滑運匣是可出2L尺寸 的用紙，且將有使2L尺寸的用紙不會在滑運匣內旋轉之寬 -5 - 1229049 度。 [發明欲解決之問題] 然而，比2L尺寸爲小的用紙在滑運匣內移動時，滑運匣 與用紙之間會產生間隙，用紙會在排出機構內旋轉。於是 ，用紙掉落到取出口時，各用紙會成爲七零八落，或表裏 相反之事，而會有使用者所取出時的用紙是未經整理過之 問題。 本發明乃有鑑於上述問題，目的是在提供一種其係在被 投入不同大小的用紙之情形下，仍可使大小不同的各種用 紙的姿勢爲一致後排出之用紙排出裝置及使用該裝置的列 印裝置者。 [發明之解決手段] 本發明的用紙排出裝置是包含：在不同高度設有可投入 不同大小用紙的多數投入口之滑運匣；和，各個都從上述 滑運匣的上述滑運匣的上述多數投入口向下傾斜的設置， 且，其在上述滑運匣的與上述投入口形面相對一面之對向 面側，形成有可供上述用紙掉落的間隙，並可引導上述用 紙的移動之多數導引構件；而，上述滑運匣係持有可對於 從上述投入口所投入的上述用紙之中最大寬度的第1用紙 ，限制其在上述導引構件上的寬度方向的移動之兩側壁面 •，又，上述各導引構件係設有可和上述滑運匣的一側壁面 相輔的限制從上述投入口所投入的，比上述第1用紙爲小 的第2用紙之寬度方向的移動，而從上述滑運匣的上述投 入口側向上述對向面側延伸之導肋者。 -6- 1229049 又，本發明的列印裝置是在於具有可排出經列印圖像的 不同大小用紙的多數之列印機，並以層疊的收容著該等列 印機之列印裝置中，其特徵爲包含：在其對應於上述各個 列印機的用紙排出口設有可供上述列印機所排出的上述用 紙投入之用之多數投入口之1只滑運匣；和，各自從上述 滑運匣的上述多數投入口向下傾斜的設置，且其在上述滑 運匣的與上述投入口形成面相對一面之對向面側，形成有 可供上述用紙掉落的間隙，並可引導上述用紙的移動之多 數的導引構件；而，上述滑運匣係持有可對從上述投入口 所投入的上述用紙之中最大寬度的第1用紙，限制其在導 引構件上的寬度方向的移動兩側壁面；又，上述各導引構 件係設有可和上述滑運匣的一側壁面相輔的限制從上述投 入口所投入的，比上述第1用紙爲小的第2用紙之寬度方 向的移動，而從上述滑運匣的上述投入口側向上述對向面 側所延伸之導肋者。 又，導肋也可設置成爲從導引構件的投入口側向滑運匣 的對向面側逐漸縮小其與滑運匣的一側壁面之間的寬度者。 又，導肋的上緣也可形成爲從投入口向導引構件的前端 逐漸接近於滑運匣的對向面者。 又，也可在導引構件的前端設置向下方延伸並接觸於滑 運匣的對向面之薄片構件者。 又，如第1用紙及第2用紙在寬度方向斷面上有捲曲時 ，薄片構件也可持有可容納第1用紙寬度方向的兩邊緣之 第1空隙部，和可容納第2用紙寬度方向的兩邊緣之第2 1229049 空隙部者。 又，也可在滑運匣的下方配置可收容堆積用紙之用紙收 容部，並在用紙收容部與滑運匣之間設置可使從滑運匣內 所掉下來的用紙朝向於同一方向堆積之姿勢控制構件者。 [發明內容] 依本發明的用紙排出裝置及使用該裝置的列印裝置時， 被投入於滑運匣內的用紙在於一面由外部構件引導一面移 動之際，其最大寬度的第1用紙之移動是由滑運匣的側壁 面所限制，第2用紙的寬度方向之移動是由滑運匣的一側 壁面與導肋所限制，因而，從投入口投入不同大小的用紙 時，也可使第2用紙不會在滑運匣內旋轉，而可使第1用 紙和第2用紙以大略一定的姿勢分別從滑運匣排出。 又，將導肋設置成爲從導引構件投入口向滑運匣的對向 面側逐漸縮小其與滑運匣的一側壁面之間的寬度時，如所 投入的多數第2用紙在寬度方向有若干的錯開，仍可使第 2用紙在寬度方向掉落到大略同一位置上。 又，如將導肋的上緣設置成爲從投入口向導引構件的前 端逐漸接近於滑運匣的對面壁時，可將通過導肋上的第1 用紙確實的引導到形成在對面側的間隙中。 又，如以在導引構件的前端設置向下方延伸，並接觸於 滑運匣的對向面的薄片構件之構成時，從間隙所掉落的用 紙會被推向於對向面側，用紙不會被在其掉落方向的導引 構件所卡住。尤其是第1用紙及第2用紙在其寬度方向斷 面上有所捲曲時，由於薄片構件是持有可容納第i用紙寬 -8- 1229049 度方向的兩邊緣之第1空隙部，和可容納第2用紙寬度方 向的兩邊緣之第2空隙部，因而，可防止從間隙掉落的第 1用紙及第2用紙之旋轉。 又，在於用紙收容部與滑運匣之間安裝可使從滑運匣內 所掉落的用紙朝向於同一方向堆積之姿勢控制構件時，可 使掉落到用紙收容部的用紙以整齊的狀態堆積者。 [實施方式] 以下，參照圖面說明本發明的實施形態。第1圖是列印 裝置一例之外觀圖。第1圖的列印裝置是運用在例如放在 商店門口，而可由使用者以自助的將數位攝影機所拍攝的 圖像資料加以列印之列印服務。此列印裝置1是具有觸摸 面板監視器2、媒體插入口 3、列印紙排出口 4、手續費 投入口 5等。使用者要使用列印裝置1以列印圖像時，將 記憶媒體插入於媒體插入口 3。於是，在觸摸面板監視器 2上會顯示儲存在記憶媒體內的圖像。此時，使用者可選 擇所要列印的圖像，並設定所要列印的圖像之列印尺寸和 張數，而將對應於列印張數的手續費投入於手續費投入口 5。於是，列印裝置1就會進行圖像的列印，而從列印紙 排出口 4排出已列印的用紙。 在此，列印裝置1是如第2圖所示，具有可配置多數台 的，可將圖像列印於用紙的列印機1 0之構造，而在第2 圖的列印裝置1中，是配置4台的列印機1 0、1 1、1 2、1 3 者。各列印機1 〇〜1 3是例如以直接感熱記錄方式 (T h e 1· m 〇 - A u t 〇 c h 〇 m e )，對感熱紙等的用紙實行彩色列印者 -9- 1229049 ，其係收容著2L尺寸、L尺寸、卡片尺寸、及CD尺寸等 多數列印規格之由捲曲紙所構成之用紙。而當使用者指定 2L尺寸、L尺寸、卡片尺寸、或CD尺寸等的列印規格時 ，會由各列印機1 0〜1 3依所指定的列印規格實行圖像資料 的列印。 第3圖是列印裝置1所使用的用紙堆積部（用紙排出裝置） 2〇之斷面圖。第4圖是用紙堆積部20的正面圖。第3圖 和第4圖的用紙堆積部20是安裝在列印機1 0〜1 3的用紙 排出側，而具有滑運匣30、多數的導引構件40、導肋50 、及用紙收容部7 0等。第3圖的滑運匣3 0是可使從列印 機1 0〜1 3所輸出的用紙OP掉落到用紙收容部70者，而有 可供用紙OP投入到滑運匣30內之投入口 31。此投入口 31 是有多數個分別形成在不同高度位置上，而設在列印機1 〇 〜1 3的排出口處者。 第4圖的滑運匣3 0是具有可將從投入口 3 1所投入的用 紙OP引導到取出口之中空部32。中空部32的寬度W是 形成爲可使從列印機10〜13所排出的（投入於投入口 31的） 最大用紙OP1 (例如2L尺寸）通過者。又，爲了使第1用紙 OP1不致於在滑運匣30內旋轉，滑運匣30的寬度W是形 成爲比2L尺寸的對角線長度爲短。即，滑運匣3 0的側壁 面是形成爲可限制第1用紙OP1的寬度方向（箭頭X方向） 之移動者。 在滑運匣30的多數投入口 31各個的下方，設有導引構 件40。導引構件40的一端側40a是位於投入口 3 1的下方 -10- 1229049 ，又，導引構件4〇是從投入口 31向下方（箭頭zi方向）傾 斜，而其前端4 〇 b是位於滑運匣3 0的與投入口 3 1相對一 面之對向面3 3側。 又，在導引構件40的前端40b與滑運匣30的對向面33 之間，形成有間隙3 5。從導引構件4 0所滑落的用紙〇 p會 經由間隙3 5向下方（箭頭Z 1方向）掉落。由此，從列印機 1 0〜1 3所排出的用紙OP是從投入口 3 1開始一面在導引構 件40上滑行一面向導引構件40的前端40b移動，而從間 隙3 5掉落者。 在導引構件40上設有可限制用紙OP在導引構件40上 的移動之導肋5 0，導肋5 0是要限制從列印機丨〇〜丨3所投 入的用紙OP之中’比第1用紙OP1爲小的第2用紙〇P2( 例如L尺寸）的寬度方向（箭頭X方向）之移動者。在具體上 ，導肋50是設置在可使第2用紙OP2從滑運匣3〇的一側 壁面34b通過，且，使第2用紙OP2不能旋轉之位置者。 於是就可構成爲當第2用紙OP2從投入口 3 1投入時，導 肋5 0會與一側壁面3 4 b相輔的限制第2用紙〇 p 2的寬度 方向之移動。 在此，導肋50是設置成爲從導引構件4〇的投入口 40a 側向滑運匣3 0的對向面3 3側逐漸縮小其與滑運匣3 0的一 側壁面34b之間的寬度者。由此，第2用紙OP2被投入於 投入口 3 1時，如所投入的第2用紙OP2在箭頭X 1方向有 所偏離成對箭頭X 1方向成爲斜向的投入時，仍可一面限制 第2用紙OP2的寬度方向之移動，一面使多數的第2用紙 1229049 OP2從在於寬度方向（箭頭X方向）上的大略同一位置掉落 於間隙3 5內。又，如從投入口 3 1所投入的多數第1用紙 OP1各個的投入姿勢在寬度方向（箭頭X方向）有所若干的 偏離時，側壁面3 4 a和3 4 b會使其成爲一致的狀態下掉落 〇 又，導肋50的上緣50a是形成爲從投入口側40a向導引 構件4 0的前端4 0 b逐漸接近於滑運匣3 0的對向面3 3者。 而如第5圖的，從間隙3 5下方仰視之平面圖所示，上緣 5 0 a會與捲曲的第1用紙〇 p 1接觸，以限制第i用紙〇 p i 的旋轉者。 於導引構件40的前端40b，係裝配著例如塑料薄片等具 彈性之薄片構件60。薄片構件60是裝配在導引構件40的 前端4 0 b，而向間隙3 5的下方（箭頭z 1方向）延伸者。薄片 構件6 0是接觸於滑運匣3 0的對向面3 3，用紙Ο P會從薄 片構件6 0與滑運匣3 0的對向面3 3之間掉落。此時，薄片 構件60會對用紙OP施加推向於對向面33(箭頭Y2方向）之 壓力，由此可防用紙OP掉落時被在其下方的其他導引構件 40所卡住而引起的用紙之阻塞。 在此，薄片構件6 0是如第6圖所示，具有可容納第1用 紙OP1的寬度方向（箭頭X方向）兩邊緣的第1空隙部61， 和可容納第2用紙Ο P 2的寬度方向（箭頭X方向）兩邊緣的 第2空隙部62。由此，有捲曲的第1用紙OP 1及第2用紙 Ο P 2會在其兩邊緣是被容納在第1空隙部6 1及第2空隙部 62的狀態下，順著薄片構件60掉落到下面，由此可防止 -12- 1229049 第1用紙OP1及第2用紙OP2在掉落中的旋轉。 如第7圖所示，在滑運匣3 0的下方，配置著可供用紙 〇 P堆積並收容之用紙收容部7 0。用紙收容部7 0是可使從 滑運匣3 0內所掉下來的用紙OP堆積並予以收容者，其收 容面7 1是對X Y平面成爲傾斜狀態。又，在收容面7 i的 下游側，配置著形成爲大略平坦的平面72。當從滑運匣30 掉下來的用紙Ο P之邊緣碰到收容面7 1而向下游移動時， 平面72會將用紙0P的邊緣對齊。一方面，用紙〇p是會 在被導引構件4〇限制其箭頭X方向的移動之狀態下掉落， 因而，用紙OP在於寬度方向（箭頭X方向）是會掉落到大略 同一位置上（參照第4圖）。因此，用紙〇p在要堆積時，是 以其端面成爲一致的狀態下所堆積者。 又，在滑運匣3 0下方的用紙收容部7 〇之上部，裝有姿 勢控制構件80。姿勢控制構件80是由姿勢控制薄片8丨和 最下層的導引構件4 1所構成。最下層的導引構件4 1是從 投入口 3 1延伸到其在對向面3 3側的一部分是位於間隙3 5 上者。又，姿勢控制薄片81是裝在滑運匣30的最下方， 而向下延伸，並接觸於最下層的導引構件4 1之頂面。由此 ’最下層的導引構件4 1會和從間隙3 5內掉落的用紙〇p 之邊象相ί_Μ ’使用紙〇 P躺在箭頭γ方向。此時，姿勢控 制薄片8 1會向投入口 3丨側（箭頭γ 1方向）施加壓力，以補 助使用紙〇P躺在最下層導引構件4 1上。於是，用紙〇p 會向最下層導引構件4 1的下游側移動，掉落到用紙收容部 Ί Q。 1229049 亦即’用紙OP原來是由導引構件40及薄片構件60使其 以箭頭Z方向的豎立姿勢掉落下來。因此，用紙〇p如保 持這種姿勢掉落到用紙收容部7 〇時，會對已堆積在用紙收 容部7〇的用紙OP加上衝擊，而會有傷及用紙0P之情形 。此時’依姿勢控制構件8 〇而使豎立在箭頭Z方向的用 紙OP躺在箭頭Y方向，以緩和其對已堆積在用紙收容部 7 0的用紙OP之衝擊，由此，可防止用紙〇p的受傷。 第8圖是用紙〇 p從投入口 3 1到間隙3 5的移動情形之模 式圖。參照第1〜8圖說明用紙堆積裝置20的動作例。首 先，從列印機1 0〜1 3所排出的用紙Ο P被從滑運匣3 0的投 入口 31投入。於是，用紙〇p會受到導引構件4〇的引導， 滑落到對向面3 3側。此時，第1用紙Ο P 1會由滑運匣3 0 的兩側壁面34a、34b限制其在寬度方向（箭頭γ方向）的移 動，同時，第2用紙Ο P 2會由導肋5 0和滑運匣3 0的一側 壁面34b限制其在寬度方向（箭頭γ方向）的移動。且，所 有的第1用紙0P1都會受兩側壁面34a、34b的引導，從間 隙3 5的大略同一位置掉落，而所有的第2用紙〇 p 2都會受 到傾斜設置的導引構件40之引導，使從導引構件40所滑 落的第2用紙〇P2都從間隙35的大略同一位置掉落。 其後’從間隙3 5掉落中的用紙0P會一面受到薄片構件 6 0的對向面3 3側（箭頭γ 1方向）之推壓，一面掉落。又， 第1用紙0P1及第2用紙0P2會分別一面受到第1空隙部 6 1及第2空隙部62的限制其旋轉，一面掉落下去。 然後，當用紙0P掉落到滑運匣30的最下方時，由姿勢 -14- 1229049 控制構件80使用紙op在箭頭γ方向的狀態下掉落到用紙 收容部7 0。其後’在用紙收容部7 0中，由平面7 2使用紙 Ο Ρ的邊端爲一致地堆積。 依本實施形態時，用紙ΟΡ被投入於滑運匣30內，而邊 受外部構件的引導邊移動時，其最大寬度的第1用紙OP 1 會由滑運匣30的兩側壁面34a、34b限制其移動，且第2 用紙OP2會由滑運匣30的一側壁面34b與導肋50限制其 寬度方向的移動’因而’如有不同大小的用紙〇p從投入口 投入時，在滑運匣30內，第2用紙〇P2都不會旋轉，第1 用紙OP1及第2用紙OP2都可從滑運匣30排出。 又，如將導肋50設置成爲從導引構件40的投入口側40a 向滑運匣30的對向面33側逐漸縮小其與滑運匣30的一側 壁面34b之間的寬度時，則第2用紙OP2被投入於投入口 31時，可一面限制第2用紙OP2的寬度方向之移動，一面 使多數的第2用紙Ο P 2從在於寬度方向的大略同一位置掉 落於間隙3 5內。 又，如將導肋5 0的上緣5 0 a形成爲從投入口 3 1側向導 引構件40的前端40b逐漸接近於滑運匣30的對向面33時 ，可將通過導肋50上的第1用紙OP1確實的引導形成在對 向面3 3側的間隙3 5內。 又，如在於導引構件40的前端40b設置向下方延伸且接 觸於滑運匣30的對向面33之薄片構件60時，會對從間隙 3 5所掉落的用紙〇 P施加向對向面3 3側之壓力，而可防止 用紙OP被在其掉落方向的導引構件4〇所卡住。尤其是第 1229049 1用紙OP1及第2用紙OP2在其寬度方向斷面上有捲曲 ，使薄片構件6 0持有可容納第1用紙Ο P 1的寬度方向兩 緣之第1空隙部6 1，和可容納第2用紙OP2的寬度方向 邊緣之第2空隙部62時，則可防止從間隙35所掉落的 1用紙OP1及第2用紙OP2之旋轉。 又，如在用紙收容部7 〇與滑運匣3 0之間設置可使從 運匣30內所掉落的用紙OP堆積成爲同一方向之姿勢控 構件80時，在用紙OP掉落到用紙收容部70時，可使其 整齊的狀態堆積者。 本發明的實施形態並不只限定於上述實施形態。例如 在上述實施形態中，在導引構件40上的導肋50是爲了 導L尺寸的用紙Ο P所設置者，但，也可設置卡片尺寸 CD尺寸的用紙OP所用之導肋50。又，在導引構件40 是只設有一片L尺寸用的導肋50者，但，也可另外加上 片尺寸用的導肋50及CD尺寸用的導肋50，而在導引構 4〇上設置多數的導肋50之構成者。 此時’卡片尺寸及CD尺寸用導肋50也和上述導肋 的不妨礙有捲曲第1用紙Ο P 1的移動一樣的，也不妨礙 有捲曲的L尺寸用紙0P的移動。於是，卡片尺寸及CD 寸的用紙〇 P在導引構件4 0上的移動也受到限制，因此 可防止用紙〇 P在於導引構件4 0上的旋轉。 [圖式簡單說明] 第1圖：本發明列印裝置的理想實施形態之斜視圖。 第2圖：本發明列印裝置的理想實施形態之正面圖。 時 邊 兩 第 滑 制 以 引 及 上 卡 件 50 到 尺 -16- 1229049 第3圖：本發明用紙排出裝置的理想實施形態之側面圖。 第4圖：本發明用紙排出裝置的理想實施形態之正面圖。

present invention relates to a paper ejection device and a printing device using the device, which are, for example, those that can be printed from a printer that prints a large number of images. Device that discharges with paper. [Prior Art] In recent years, due to the popularity of digital cameras, there has been provided a print service for printing images captured by digital cameras. Among the forms of providing such a printing service, one is known as a printing device equipped with a plurality of printers each containing a paper (refer to Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 200 1-6287 1). This is to insert a memory medium such as smat media (registered trademark) that stores image data captured by a digital camera into the part of the device, and print the image with most printers in the device. In this way, since a large number of printers are installed in the printing device, and the image printing processing is performed in parallel, the print processor can be performed at high speed and efficiency. The prepared paper specifications for printing images include various paper specifications such as card size, L size, 2L size, and CD size. Each printer is a printer that prints a large number of paper sizes. In order for the discharge mechanism to discharge paper of any size, the size of the discharge mechanism is set so that it corresponds to the largest print paper size. This ejection mechanism is constituted by a slide cassette that guides the paper output from most printers to the take-out port. For example, the slide box of a printing device for printing card size, L size, 2L size, and CD size is capable of outputting 2L size paper, and there will be a width that prevents 2L size paper from rotating in the slide box. -5-1229049 degrees. [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, when paper smaller than the size of 2L is moved in the slide box, a gap is generated between the slide box and the paper, and the paper is rotated in the discharge mechanism. Therefore, when the paper is dropped to the take-out port, each paper will fall into pieces, or vice versa, and there is a problem that the paper when the user takes out the paper is unorganized. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a paper ejection device capable of discharging various papers of different sizes in a uniform posture when papers of different sizes are input, and a row using the same. Printers. [Solving Means of the Invention] The paper ejection device of the present invention includes: a slide box provided at a plurality of heights with a plurality of input openings capable of feeding paper of different sizes; and each of the slide boxes described above Most of the input openings are inclined downward, and a gap is formed on the opposite side of the sliding box opposite to the input opening-shaped surface to allow the paper to fall, and to guide the movement of the paper. Most of the guide members, and the above-mentioned slide box holds both sides of the first paper which can be moved in the width direction on the guide member with respect to the first paper having the largest width among the papers input from the input port. Wall surface • Also, each of the guide members is provided with a side wall surface of the slide box to restrict the widthwise movement of the second paper which is input from the input port and is smaller than the first paper. And a guide rib extending from the input port side of the sliding box to the facing surface side. -6- 1229049 Furthermore, the printing device of the present invention is a printing device having a large number of different sizes of paper that can discharge printed images, and a printing device that houses these printing devices in a stack, It is characterized by comprising: a slip box provided at a paper discharge port corresponding to each of the printers, with a plurality of input ports for inputting the above-mentioned paper discharged by the printer; and The above-mentioned majority of the input openings of the sliding box are disposed downwardly inclined, and on the opposite side of the sliding box opposite to the surface forming the input opening, a gap is formed for the above-mentioned paper to fall, and can be guided. The guide member that moves most of the paper, and the slide box holds a first paper that has the largest width among the papers input from the input port, and limits the width direction of the paper on the guide member. The two side wall surfaces are moved; and each of the guide members is provided with a side wall surface of the sliding box to restrict the width of the second paper which is input from the input port and is smaller than that of the first paper. Direction shift , Laterally by the guide rib extends toward the surface side of the slide operation from the input port of the cartridge. Further, the guide rib may be provided so that the width between the guide rib and the one side wall surface of the carriage can be gradually reduced from the input port side of the guide member to the facing surface side of the carriage. In addition, the upper edge of the guide rib may be formed to gradually approach the opposite side of the carriage from the insertion port to the front end of the guide member. Further, a sheet member extending downward and contacting the facing surface of the carriage may be provided at the front end of the guide member. In addition, if the first paper and the second paper are curled in the widthwise cross-section, the sheet member can also hold the first gap portion that can accommodate both edges in the width direction of the first paper and the width direction that can accommodate the second paper. 2 of the two edges of the 1229049 void section. In addition, a paper accommodating section capable of accommodating stacked paper may be disposed below the courier box, and a paper accommodating section and the courier box may be provided between the paper accommodating section and the courier box so that the paper falling from the courier box can be stacked in the same direction Person who controls posture. [Disclosure of the Invention] When the paper ejection device and the printing device using the device according to the present invention, the paper that is put in the hopper is moved by the first paper with the largest width when it is guided by an external member. It is restricted by the side wall surface of the slide box, and the movement in the width direction of the second paper is restricted by one side wall surface and the guide rib of the slide box. Therefore, when the paper of different sizes is input from the input port, the first The 2 sheets of paper are not rotated in the hopper, and the first and second sheets of paper can be discharged from the hopper respectively in approximately a fixed posture. In addition, when the guide rib is provided so as to gradually reduce the width between the guide member input opening and the facing surface side of the slide box, and the side wall surface of the slide box, the second paper used in most cases is inserted in the width direction. There are some deviations, and the second paper can still be dropped to approximately the same position in the width direction. In addition, if the upper edge of the guide rib is set to gradually approach the opposite wall of the slide box from the input port to the front end of the guide member, the first paper passing through the guide rib can be surely guided to the side formed on the opposite side. In the gap. When the sheet member is provided at the front end of the guide member and extends downward and contacts the facing surface of the slide box, the paper dropped from the gap is pushed to the facing surface side, and the paper is used. It will not be caught by the guide member in its falling direction. In particular, when the first paper and the second paper are curled in the widthwise cross section, the sheet member is the first gap portion that holds the two edges in the direction of the width of the i-th paper from -8 to 1229049 degrees, and may Since the second gaps on both edges of the second paper in the width direction are accommodated, the first paper and the second paper falling from the gap can be prevented from rotating. In addition, when an attitude control member is installed between the paper storage section and the slide box so that the paper dropped from the slide box can be stacked in the same direction, the paper dropped to the paper storage section can be neatly arranged. Stacker. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is an external view of an example of a printing device. The printing device shown in FIG. 1 is a printing service which is used, for example, at a shop entrance, and allows users to print image data captured by a digital video camera by themselves. This printing device 1 includes a touch panel monitor 2, a media insertion port 3, a printing paper discharge port 4, a handling fee input port 5, and the like. When the user wants to use the printing device 1 to print an image, the user inserts a memory medium into the medium insertion port 3. Then, the image stored in the storage medium is displayed on the touch panel monitor 2. At this time, the user can select the image to be printed, set the print size and the number of images to be printed, and input the fee corresponding to the number of printed sheets into the fee input port 5. Then, the printing device 1 prints the image, and the printed paper is discharged from the printing paper discharge port 4. Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the printing device 1 has a structure of a printer 10 capable of arranging a plurality of tables and printing an image on a sheet of paper. The printing device 1 in FIG. 2 , Is the one with 4 printers 10, 1 1, 1 2, 1 3. Each printer 1 0 to 13 is a person who performs color printing on paper such as thermal paper by a direct thermal recording method (T he 1 · m 〇- Aut 〇ch 〇me) -9-1229049. It contains 2L size, L size, card size, and CD size paper made of curl paper. When the user specifies the printing specifications such as 2L size, L size, card size, or CD size, the image data is printed by each printer 10 to 13 according to the specified printing specifications. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a paper stacking unit (paper discharge device) 20 used in the printing apparatus 1. FIG. 4 is a front view of the paper stacking section 20. The paper stacking section 20 of FIGS. 3 and 4 is a paper discharge side mounted on the printers 10 to 13 and includes a slide box 30, a plurality of guide members 40, guide ribs 50, and a paper storage section. 7 0 and so on. The slide box 30 shown in FIG. 3 is the one that can drop the paper OP output from the printers 10 to 13 into the paper storage section 70, and the paper OP can be put into the slide box 30. Mouth 31. The input port 31 is formed at a plurality of positions at different heights, and is provided at the discharge ports of the printers 10 to 13. The slide cassette 30 in Fig. 4 has a hollow portion 32 which can guide the paper OP fed from the input port 31 to the take-out port. The width W of the hollow portion 32 is formed so that the largest paper OP1 (for example, 2L size) discharged from the printers 10 to 13 (input to the input port 31) can pass. In order to prevent the first paper OP1 from rotating in the slide box 30, the width W of the slide box 30 is formed to be shorter than the diagonal length of the 2L size. That is, the side wall surface of the slide box 30 is formed so as to restrict the movement of the width direction (arrow X direction) of the first paper OP1. A guide member 40 is provided below each of the plurality of input ports 31 of the carriage 30. One end side 40a of the guide member 40 is located below the input port 31 -10- 1229049. The guide member 40 is inclined downward (direction of arrow zi) from the input port 31, and the front end 40b is located at The side of the sliding box 30 opposite to the input port 31 is opposite to the surface 33 side. A gap 35 is formed between the front end 40b of the guide member 40 and the facing surface 33 of the carriage 30. The paper oop p dropped from the guide member 40 is dropped downward (direction of arrow Z 1) through the gap 35. As a result, the paper OP discharged from the printers 10 to 13 is moved from the input port 31 while sliding on the guide member 40 while moving toward the front end 40b of the guide member 40, and falls from the gap 35. By. The guide member 40 is provided with a guide rib 50 for restricting the movement of the paper OP on the guide member 40. The guide rib 50 is to restrict the paper OP input from the printer 丨 〇 ~ 丨 3. A mover in the width direction (arrow X direction) of the second paper 〇P2 (for example, L size) smaller than the first paper OP1. Specifically, the guide rib 50 is provided at a position where the second paper OP2 can pass through the side wall surface 34b of the carriage 30 and the second paper OP2 cannot be rotated. Therefore, when the second paper OP2 is fed from the input port 31, the guide rib 50 can complement the side wall surface 3 4b to restrict the width direction movement of the second paper 0 p 2. Here, the guide rib 50 is provided so as to gradually reduce the distance from the input port 40a of the guide member 40 to the opposing surface 33 of the sliding box 30 and the side wall surface 34b of the sliding box 30. Width person. Therefore, when the second paper OP2 is input into the input port 31, if the input second paper OP2 deviates in the direction of the arrow X1 from the paired direction of the arrow X1, the second paper OP2 can still be restricted. The movement of the width direction of the two paper OP2 causes the majority of the second paper 1229049 OP2 to fall into the gap 35 from approximately the same position in the width direction (the arrow X direction). In addition, if the input postures of most of the first paper OP1 input from the input port 31 are deviated slightly in the width direction (direction of the arrow X), the side wall surfaces 3 4 a and 3 4 b will be made uniform. In the state, the upper edge 50a of the guide rib 50 is formed from the input port side 40a to the front end 40b of the guide member 40 and gradually approaches the opposing surface 33 of the slide box 30. As shown in the plan view in FIG. 5, when viewed from below the gap 35, the upper edge 50 a will come into contact with the curled first paper 0 p 1 to restrict the spinner of the i-th paper 0 p i. To the front end 40b of the guide member 40, an elastic sheet member 60 such as a plastic sheet is mounted. The sheet member 60 is attached to the front end 40 b of the guide member 40 and extends downward (in the direction of the arrow z 1) below the gap 35. The sheet member 60 is in contact with the facing surface 3 3 of the slide box 30, and the paper sheet 0 P is dropped from between the sheet member 60 and the facing surface 3 3 of the slide box 30. At this time, the sheet member 60 applies pressure to the facing surface 33 (in the direction of arrow Y2) to the paper OP, thereby preventing the paper OP from being caught by other guide members 40 below the paper OP when it is dropped. Blocked by paper. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, the sheet member 60 is a first gap portion 61 having both edges in the width direction (arrow X direction) of the first paper OP1 and a width capable of accommodating the second paper 0 P 2 The second gap portion 62 at both edges in the direction (direction of arrow X). As a result, the first paper OP 1 and the second paper 〇 P 2 with curl are dropped along the sheet member 60 in a state where both edges of the first paper OP 1 and the second paper 0 P 2 are accommodated in the first and second voids 61 and 62. Down to this, it is possible to prevent the 12-1204949 from rotating when the first paper OP1 and the second paper OP2 are dropped. As shown in Fig. 7, a paper accommodating section 70 is provided below the slide box 30 for stacking and accommodating the paper 〇P. The paper accommodating portion 70 is a person who can accumulate and store the paper OP dropped from the hopper 30, and the storage surface 71 is inclined to the X Y plane. Further, on the downstream side of the receiving surface 7 i, a flat surface 72 formed to be substantially flat is arranged. When the edge of the paper sheet 0 P dropped from the slide box 30 hits the receiving surface 71 and moves downstream, the flat surface 72 aligns the edge of the paper sheet 0 P. On the one hand, the paper oop will fall in a state where the guided member 40 limits its movement in the arrow X direction. Therefore, the paper OP will fall to approximately the same position in the width direction (arrow X direction) ( (See Figure 4). Therefore, when the paper oop is to be stacked, it is stacked in a state where the end faces thereof are aligned. Further, an attitude control member 80 is mounted above the paper accommodating portion 70 below the slide box 30. The posture control member 80 is composed of a posture control sheet 8 丨 and a lowermost guide member 41. The guide member 41 of the lowermost layer extends from the entrance 31 to a part of the guide member 41 on the facing surface 3 3 is located above the gap 3 5. Moreover, the attitude control sheet 81 is attached to the lowermost part of the carriage 30, extends downward, and contacts the top surface of the lowermost guide member 41. As a result, the guide member 41 of the lowermost layer and the edge image of the paper sheet oop dropped from the gap 35 are placed in the direction of the arrow γ. At this time, the posture control sheet 8 1 applies pressure to the side of the insertion port 3 (direction of arrow γ 1) to assist the use of the paper OP to lie on the lowermost guide member 41. Then, the paper oop moves toward the downstream side of the lowermost guide member 41, and falls to the paper storage section ΊQ. 1229049, that is, the 'paper OP' was originally dropped by the guide member 40 and the sheet member 60 in the upright posture in the direction of the arrow Z. Therefore, if the paper oop drops onto the paper accommodating section 70 while maintaining this posture, the paper OP that has been accumulated in the paper accommodating section 70 will be impacted, and the paper OP may be injured. At this time, the paper OP erected in the direction of the arrow Z is laid down in the direction of the arrow Y in accordance with the posture control member 80 to reduce the impact of the paper OP on the paper OP that has been accumulated in the paper storage section 70, thereby preventing the paper. P's injury. Fig. 8 is a pattern diagram of the movement of the paper oop from the input port 31 to the gap 35. An operation example of the paper stacking device 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8. First, the paper 0 P discharged from the printers 10 to 13 is input from the input port 31 of the hopper 30. Then, the paper sheet oop is guided by the guide member 40 and slides down to the facing surface 33 side. At this time, the first paper 0 P 1 is restricted from moving in the width direction (the direction of the arrow γ) by the two side walls 34 a and 34 b of the slide box 30, and at the same time, the second paper 0 P 2 is moved by the guide rib 5 0 A side wall surface 34b of the slide box 30 limits its movement in the width direction (arrow γ direction). In addition, all the first paper sheets OP1 will be guided by the two side wall surfaces 34a and 34b, and will fall from approximately the same position of the gap 35, and all the second paper sheets oop2 will be guided by the inclined guide member 40. In this way, all the second papers OP2 that have fallen off the guide member 40 are dropped from approximately the same position of the gap 35. After that, the paper sheet 0P falling from the gap 35 is pressed by the side 3 3 (direction of arrow γ 1) of the facing surface of the sheet member 60 while falling, and is dropped. In addition, the first paper sheet OP1 and the second paper sheet OP2 are respectively restricted by the first gap portion 61 and the second gap portion 62 from rotating while being dropped, while falling. Then, when the paper OP is dropped to the bottom of the slide box 30, the control member 80 uses the paper op in the state of the arrow γ by the posture -14-1229049 to fall to the paper storage section 70. After that, in the paper accommodating portion 70, the edges of the paper ο from the flat surface 72 are uniformly stacked. According to this embodiment, the paper OP is put into the slide box 30, and when it is moved while being guided by an external member, the first paper OP 1 having the largest width is passed through both side walls 34a, 34b of the slide box 30. The movement of the second paper OP2 is restricted, and the lateral movement of the second paper OP2 by the side wall surface 34b and the guide ribs 50 of the slide box 30 is limited. Therefore, when papers of different sizes are input from the input port, the slide In the cassette 30, neither the second paper OP2 is rotated, and both the first paper OP1 and the second paper OP2 can be discharged from the slide cassette 30. In addition, if the guide rib 50 is provided to gradually reduce the width between the guide member 40 from the input port side 40a of the guide member 40 to the opposing surface 33 side of the sliding box 30 and the side wall surface 34b of the sliding box 30, When the second paper OP2 is put into the input port 31, the second paper OP2 can be restricted from moving in the width direction, and most of the second paper OP2 can be dropped into the gap 3 5 from approximately the same position in the width direction. . In addition, if the upper edge 50 a of the guide rib 50 is formed so as to gradually approach the front end 40b of the guide member 40 from the input port 31 side to the opposing surface 33 of the slide box 30, the guide rib 50 The first paper OP1 on the upper surface is surely guided in the gap 35 on the facing surface 33 side. In addition, if the front end 40b of the guide member 40 is provided with a sheet member 60 extending downward and contacting the facing surface 33 of the slide box 30, the paper sheet ROP dropped from the gap 35 will be faced to each other. The pressure on the surface 3 3 side can prevent the paper OP from being caught by the guide member 40 in the falling direction. In particular, the 1229049 1 paper OP1 and the second paper OP2 are curled in the width direction cross-section, so that the sheet member 60 holds the first gap portion 61, which can accommodate both edges in the width direction of the first paper 0 P1, When the second gap portion 62 that can accommodate the widthwise edge of the second paper OP2 is used, rotation of the first paper OP1 and the second paper OP2 dropped from the gap 35 can be prevented. In addition, if a posture control member 80 is provided between the paper storage section 70 and the slide box 30 to stack the paper OPs dropped from the tray 30 in the same direction, the paper OP is dropped into the paper storage In the case of the unit 70, it can be stacked in a neat state. The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the guide ribs 50 on the guide member 40 are provided for guiding the L-sized paper OP. However, the guide ribs 50 for the card-size CD-sized paper OP may be provided. The guide member 40 is provided with only one L-sized guide rib 50. However, the guide member 50 and the CD-sized guide rib 50 may be separately added. 〇 A plurality of guide ribs 50 are provided. At this time, the 'card-size and CD-size guide ribs 50 are the same as the above-mentioned guide ribs which do not hinder the movement of the curled first paper sheet 0 P 1 and do not hinder the movement of the curled L-size paper sheet OP. As a result, the card-sized and CD-sized paper 〇 P is also restricted from moving on the guide member 40, so that the paper 〇 P can be prevented from rotating on the guide member 40.
